·2023-12-6Who remembers???? Five years ago today, we walked out of the Endeavor offices, told we would be back in two weeks. Two years passed before that became reality. What started as a brief pause became an industry shift, a career pivot, and a test of resilience. Some changed paths, some found new passions, and some fought to keep things going. Grateful for the people, lessons, and perspective gained. The road was not easy, but it shaped where I am today. To everyone who walked out that day and found their way forward—I see you. #FiveYearsLater #EntertainmentIndustry #Resilience #CareerPivot #LessonsLearned #Gratitud#onthisday

·1w ago Nia Long just revealed she did not get along with Cuba Gooding Jr while filming Boyz n the Hood but had a crush on Morris Chestnut instead. Honestly that is the most 90s rom com plot I have ever heard. Somebody get them on a reunion special ASAP because I need to see Cuba reacting to this in real time. #NiaLong #CubaGoodingJr #MorrisChestnut #BoyzNTheHood #90sMovies #MovieDrama #HollywoodTea #ThrowbackVibes #SetLife #BehindTheScenes #onthisday

·1w ago Cody Rhodes got jumped by both The Rock and John Cena at Elimination Chamber, and every “good guy” in the back was just like: 👀 “Damn, that’s crazy.” 🍿 Sami? LA Knight? Jey Uso? Seth Rollins?? Nah, they were too busy enjoying the show. Even security was like, “Let’s see where this goes.” #EliminationChamber #CodyNeedsNewFriends

·3-2The way some folks look at minorities in the workplace as if we’re just DEI hires reminds me of how Remy stared at his classmates in Higher Learning. Suspicion, resentment, and the assumption that we don’t belong. But just like in that film, the real issue isn’t ‘diversity hires’ it’s the bias that refuses to see us as qualified, capable, and deserving. #HigherLearning #DEI #WeBelong

·2-17Out-of-town friends: “Omg, we have to eat at this place! I saw it on [insert reality show]!” Me: “You sure? The appetizers alone cost more than your flight.” Them (after seeing the menu): “Wait… $28 for fries???” Welcome to LA, where the food is good, but the bill hits like an unexpected plot twist. #WelcomeToLA #StickerShock #LAPrices #RealityCheck #$28Fries #ShouldaGoneToInNOut #onthisday
